Try this, for starters
Connecting to a Shared Printer on Windows XP via Windows Vista


Problem:
Your Windows Vista PC cannot connect and print to a “shared” printer, which is directly attached to a Windows XP PC, via your network.

Solution:
  • [*]
i. Download the Windows Vista printer driver for your printer from the manufacturer’s website.
1. If your printer’s manufacturer has not created a Vista driver yet, retry step 2.
ii. Install the driver on your Windows Vista PC. During installation, you’ll be prompted to connect the printer to your PC. Choose the option to proceed with installation without connecting the printer.
